Living Life to the Fullest

Mya (ADOPTED) has been with the rescue for a few months and we aren't really sure why there hasn't been much interest in her.

She has really blossomed at her foster home.  She is so relaxed and content in her home environment.

She would make an incredible companion for an active person.  If you are looking for a running or biking partner, Mya is your gal!  She will match you stride for stride for as long as you want.  Her foster home thinks she would make a great dog for skijoring too.

She is eager to please and is a very fast learner and will work for either food or toys.

She is loving, funny and a pleasure to be around.  If you think she is the dog for you, please don't hesitate to set up a meeting.  She's waiting.

For more information on this dog, please contact the Windy City Canine Rescue at info@windycityrescue.com or by calling 403-359-3139.

JD {Cocker Spaniel x Poodle} - ADOPTED

JD is still looking for the perfect home, and is just as adorable as ever!  She is adjusting well to her new life, but hopes that someone out there soon will want to take her in forever, as she becomes attached very quickly.  She would probably do best in a home with one or two adults who are not away for long periods. She would be ok with other dogs, but would not be a play partner – she just ignores them – so she would prefer not to have to share the attention.

Because of her age (she’ll turn 12 in September), she would like a very low key house where she can lounge around like the princess that she is, go for short walks and spend the rest of the day following her owner around.

She loves to cuddle, and will need to sleep on the bed.  If it’s too high for her to jump, she will whine until you lift her up (a small step will solve that problem).  She is in very good health and loves to spend time outside, as long as her owner is with her.  She loves to give kisses, play fetch, and loves treats.  She will occasionally bark as people pass by, or bark to get your attention, but is otherwise perfect!!!   

She was a perfect angel for the first 12 years of her life (her owner recently had to move to a senior’s home) and is very deserving of a good home – all she wants is a small space on your bed and in your heart.

Crawford {Pembroke Welsh Corgi} - ADOPTED

May we introduce Crawford!

He is a 6 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi who is a happy and laid back kind of guy.

Just like JD, this young man has been loved and pampered his whole life.  Due to allergies of a new addition to the family, Crawford was starting to live outside and he was just miserable.  So the owners did the brave and compassionate thing and decided that he would be happier with another family, rather than living outside by himself.

He is housetrained and very well mannered. He's a perfect gentleman and is very obedient. He is good with dogs and is used to being around livestock and horses.  He is not particularly fond of cats but will ignore them of you tell him to.

He loves to go for walks and is great at fetch and tug-o-war. He is friendly with everyone he meets and is a pretty happy guy.

For more information on Crawford, please contact the Windy City Canine Rescue at info@windycityrescue.com or by calling 403-359-3139.

Harley and Lily {Chihuahuas} - - ADOPTED

Lily (above) is a cute little 2 year old chihuahua and Harley (below) is her handsome older brother.

They are great pups that get along with other dogs, completely ignore cats and are good with small kids. They are currently being fostered with a 5 year old boy and as you can see, are not minding his company at all!

They sleep in a crate at night but they are very cuddly and wouldn't mind sleeping on the bed with you.  They both listen well and have proven to be good off leash. They are house-trained, although Harley had to prove his manliness when he first arrive and marked a few times.  Once that was out of his system, he acted like the true gentleman that he is.

They love to sleep on the back of the couch like a cat, and will give you tonnes of kisses when you cuddle with them.  They can be a little barky, especially when they first meet people, but as soon as you pet them they settle down.

These two little ones are looking to find a home where they can stay together as they are quite attached to one another.

Harley and Lily would make a great addition to any home!

For more information on Harley and Lily, please contact the Windy City Canine Rescue at info@windycityrescue.com or by calling 403-359-3139.

JD {Cocker Spaniel x Poodle} - ADOPTED

JD is a super fun 12 year old cocker spaniel, poodle cross.

It is obvious this little girl has been loved her whole life.  She's been to a vet regularly, she's been on lots of walks and she is in great health.  She was surrendered because her dad was moving into a retirement home which sadly doesn't allow dogs.  She is a little confused by the sudden changes but she is doing OK, and we hope he is too.

JD is completely housetrained and doesn't get into any mischief when left home alone. She is a princess who likes soft beds and couches. She also likes to sleep on the bed with you - no dog bed on the floor for her. She's been pampered her whole life, and she isn't about to let that change!

She likes to play with toys, likes to cuddle, loves to go for walks, and is good with other dogs and cats.  She is actually pretty darn spunky for a 12 year old dog!  She is usually pretty quiet but can get a little sassy when you are slow at throwing the toy, or handing over the treat.  It is actually pretty cute.

JD is looking for a new home...  Might that be with you?

For more information on JD, please contact the Windy City Canine Rescue at info@windycityrescue.com or by calling 403-359-3139.

Ozzie {Happy Ending}

Ozzie has settled in very well and we just love him. He loves his walks and rides in the car. He's a great addition to the family!!


He is proving to be a wonderful pet and follows us everywhere. He is very playful but doesn't like to drop anything! He is catching on quickly though.

He was camera shy to start with but is getting more photogenic as time goes by. He is such a softie!

Penny {Chocolate Lab} - ADOPTED

Penny might look like a 4 month old chocolate lab puppy... but really she is an alligator in disguise!  

Just joking!  :) She just has those typical sharp puppy teeth that you tend to forget your own dogs ever had.

She is your typical puppy... Go, Go, Go when there is something fun and interesting going on, but nice and calm once she has gotten all her puppy exuberance out of her system.

She loves to munch on toys (or you if given the chance!) and will sit contentedly by herself munching on a good bone or toy.

She is still working on her house training and is very good as long as you are paying attention to her needs.

She sleeps well in her crate at night and doesn't make a peep.

When she wakes up in the morning, you have to be ready, as she is ready to Go, Go, Go again!

Penny is a typical puppy that is full of exuberance and joy.  She'll be a great addition to almost any family.

For more information on Penny, please contact the Windy City Canine Rescue at info@windycityrescue.com or by calling 403-359-3139.

Sammie {Happy Ending}

Sammie has defiantly felt right at home here from the moment she walked through the door. She has a lot of loving siblings whom she loves to cuddle and play with all the time. She loves going for strolls with my other dog Goldie who is also a bit older and enjoys just relaxing on the couch.


She especially has fallen in love with our one cat.

She has become my shadow and besides following me wherever I go, she always has to sleep by my side. I have defiantly noticed a change in her mood since we first got her, she is more energetic, happy and no longer timid. All in all she is a very happy and healthy dog, who finally found a good loving home.
